  New here

  by His Excellency in

  for the record, i am not a native english speaker, infact i recently just started studying english about 18months ago.

  so apologies for any error you may encounter in the process of making sense of my logic.. i am from a small village in a destitute and war ravaged african country, 80 percent of people in my town live on less than 50cent in a day and myself included, no roads, no hospital, no public institution, no social welfare support, no national security institutiion, nothing, just tribal factions exchanging agricultural produce and i have always wondered why jehovah would have to put the preaching work ahead of a poverty eradication program at this desperate time of our existence.. .

  it was an emotional adventure on finding answers to that question that led me here.

  Promitheas, if you haven't found it yet, the little envelope is in the extreme upper right corner of the screen, to the right of your screen name. The first time you try to open a PM it won't open, so use your back key and try again until it does. Welcome to the board.

  i've spent the last couple of days reading up on scientology.

  there is a new book out by lawrence wright called "going clear," which i really want to buy and read.. going clear is based on wright's article in the new yorker where he explores scientology through the experiences of paul haggis, a celebrated hollywood director who defected in 2009.. here's a two-part news report on haggis and scientology, featuring wright's opinions as an outsider investigating the organization.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=men7nb--q7w.

  Great photos. I am especially impressed with the one showing the moons of Jupiter - incredible. What kind of lens did you use for that, Leolaia? Well done both of you!

  albuquerque, n.m. - authorities in new mexico have arrested a 15 year old boy who shot and killed his parents and siblings.

  i heard on the news this morning that the little bastard admitted that he had also planned on going to an open place (like a mall or school perhaps?

  ) and opening up fire on everyone there too.

  "We have sex education in schools because we worry about kids and sex, so why not have gun education? It used to be that a lot of high schools had rifle clubs and we didn't see the school shootings back then we now see."

  The most popular summer school program in my school district's middle school is hunter safety. Those who complete the program then go on a wild turkey hunt with their instructors and qualified adult volunteers.

  unproductive kingdom proclaimers won't leave my kingdom hall, how do i rid our hall of these vultures or turkeys?.

  "you can't fly like the eagles if you hang out with turkeys".

  after visiting your site, i decided to allow one of the spiritual weak individuals into my car group, it was not easy but you have made valid points i find very self condemning.
